Don't believe "sales" talk like this.

Anti-oxidants actually impair adaptations to recovery in the literature BECAUSE they soak up damage.

When the body is stressed, there's damage. Damage makes the body adapt. If something is soaking up the damage, the body won't adapt. Thus, decreased performance.

This doesn't occur with whole foods though (almonds and whatnot) so it's a moot point. But people megadosing vitamins it does happen and it has been shown in the studies that the body doesn't adapt as well when throwing antioxidants at it (vit A, C and E)


Would green tea be included in this antioxidant picture? I drink two liters a day and I'm worried about it messing with my progress...


2 liters a day might fuck up your body's "uptake" of iron though

iherb? dunno, i'm looking for a good german online shop that sells protein powder/fish oil etc as well. I only know andro-shop.com, while they do have ON whey/casein I cant find my BCAA (purple wraath by controlled labs)
where do you buy your whey/casein?



iherb didn't ship to germany the last time i checked, which really sucks.
for whey i usually use the team andro shop or sportnahrung-engel.de bcaa i used black bol powder from best body nutrition, cause it's the cheapest. fish oil i use the ones from dm at the moment, but they got added vit e which sucks.

In Denmark we can buy a lot of different fish oil in the average pharmacy, even some of the bigger grocery stores have them by now. Normally located near the multi vitamins.

Last serious workout for the year. I feel I had a new Bench PR in me, but my shoulder did hurt a bit, so reason prevailed above greed. Got a new PR for BO-Rows with 107,5kg though. I did two singles with 107,5, and both times it just barely touched my shirt/stomach... I am a little hesitant to count those as a completed repetition, I am not fully decided yet.
Tomorrow of to my parents and saying there until new years. There is a gym where I can go to, and I will just go there 2-3 times and have a deload week.

All in all it was a very successful lifting year. Can't wait for 2012, where I will perform the first chin-up of my fat life and also achieve at least a 140kg Bench Press and a 250kg Deadlift!

My squat keeps in getting higher, deadlift too. Nothing else is increasing quickly at all. It's all sorta grossly out of proportion.

165dl
140 squat
55 bench
50 press

Gaining overall weight though.

Fucking boss workout today

weighed in at 79kg
111kg squat
79kg bench
BW+6.8kg pullups 5-5-4, couldn't do very last rep

Also working out in pounds makes all those weights look so awkward

Yeah, you can expect that. It happens to quite a few people; their squat and deadlifts keep climbing, but their bench and OHP stay stuck for months. Just do 15% resets after 3 failed attempts, keep eating big, and they'll catch up.

That's one possibility... another is to add some dips as an assistance exercise. That, or he can re-evaluate his form to see if anything is up there. It may very well be the case that he's making some very compromising form errors (unretracted shoulder blades, poor back arch, no foot drive, etc.).

Yeah - my bench was stuck on 135 for EVER, and while a lot of it was in my head, a lot of it happened to be form as well. I would really recommend that you be sure to follow Dave Tate's Bench video. Also, Dips didn't help me much, but Dumbbell bench (especially on a slight incline) has helped both my press and my bench press. You've got to figure out what the sticking point holding the lifts back is for YOU, and then go from there in fixing it.

I'm looking to add some muscle mass and definition. Nothing "buff" or "big" at all, just a little more muscle and definition is all. I've slacked off quite a bit for the past 6 months. I didn't have any sort of regular work out before as I pretty much went to the gym leisurely when I was. Any diet/workout tips to push me in the right direction since it's the end of the semester? (Vague post, I know, but just looking for some general/neat ideas)

Any advice would be appreciated ^_^

paleo (see: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=261918) + SS (see: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=261928)

"definition" means having a low bodyfat percentage. but that wont help you much if you dont have any muscle mass under the fat. so do SS which will make you strong, and eat slightly below your BMR which will make you lose bodyfat.

you could also try to combine those things with leangains (www.leangains.com) which will have you fast for 16 hours every day and also workout fasted. not everybody likes that, so its up to you

Actually he never recommends working out fasted. You can read from his guide that there's not enough research done about the fasted training and if you still want to try it then you should at least consume BCAA before workout.

yeah lol its not completely fasted but trust me, working out with that 10g bcaa is still way different than working out after you've had a meal.

I think martin personnally does work out "fasted" (with just 10g of BCAA pre-workout). but if you cant handle it and still like the 16h fasting period, you can have a small pre-workout meal.

Had to take a two hour mountain biking trip through the hills of Southern France in order to get my shot of squats. Fuck excuses amirite?

102,5kg squat 5-5-5
Bench Press: 74kg 5-5-5 PR
Deadlift 132,5kg 1x4 PR

Pretty boss workout. Gym owner and everybody else commented rest commented repeatedly on how much bigger I was.

Got my bf% checked out:

11July 79kg 14,9% fat
23 December 83,3 12,7% fat

Oh you Starting Strength, you.


Question: On Mondays not a single gym within 3 hours by bike is open. I haven't taken a rest day in 3 months, but feeling pretty strong still. What do I do? I have some dumbells and plenty of space.
